Ebony & Ivory (DmC)

Ebony & Ivory are Dante's trademark pistols, which are his most trusted human weapons. While they lack strength, Dante's ability to pull the triggers with inhuman speed, as well as using his enchanced dexterity, make them versatile weapons for any range and orientation.

Design
Aside from their coloring, both weapons are identical to each other; Ebony is the black pistol, while Ivory is the white. While the design philosophy used in making the weapons in DmC was to mix together reality and fantasy, the twin pistols' actions resemble that of the Desert Eagle, while the grips look like clumps of metal fashioned into sharp points. Near the bore of each pistol are engravings of scrollwork. Each also sports a ring hammer, and because of their design, the pistols don't seem to require magazines to fire bullets.

While the weapons are merely pistols, Dante is able to fire them with the speed of a machine gun, and their report when fired resembles one as well.

Moveset
As human weapons, there is no need to hold a specific key to draw the pistols. With Ebony & Ivory, pressing the Shoot key once will fire a shot from both guns, making it slightly easier to maintain rapid fire.

Etymology
Traditionally, black piano keys were made from ebony and the white keys were covered with strips of ivory. One could say the weapons also resemble the two halves that make up Dante's heritage as both a demon and angel.
